Category: VW Phaeton Forum

It is not really understandable for me why many topics are opened here recently, answers come quickly and then nothing comes from the TE. Result, solution of the problem, advice helped? Or that someone also asks questions within an existing topic, usually new visitors in the Phaeton forum, get answers and never speak again. Did it help him/her, e.g. with a purchase decision? I hope that such users in the real life become more polite The Phaeton Forum is not a one-way street, no dead end, no black hole. So, who feels addressed: Please give something and don’t just take it. LG Udo

Now, unfortunately, it also caught me, my Phaeton has stopped. Reason, because of the cold outside temperatures (at night to minus 18 degrees), formed in the diesel paraffin particles, which led to clogging in the engine (carburetor?) . I have the car now standing in the car workshop to warm it up . And tomorrow they want to pick out . Hope it is not affected any more . What annoyed me . I recently filled at Esso and there one should expect that the minus 20 degrees will enter . The ADAC has already pointed out in 2013 that the promise is often not to be trusted. (Shell and Agip performed better at that time) But what also plays a role. There are cars that are better able to cope with it.What experiences have you made in this regard and how do you prevent it? P.S. I have had to cancel many important dates now and wait in a village so that it will hopefully go on tomorrow. Annoying something like that. Otherwise, the Phaeton is with preheating and All-wheeler perfectly prepared for winter and suitable for winter.

Hello in the round, in three weeks I have to separate myself from my Phaeton, he goes back to the leasing company. Unfortunately, some repairs are still to be carried out, which are excluded from the warranty services for a reason that I cannot explain. A defect is particularly expensive and I hope someone can give me advice on how to get it cheaper. For some time now the electric tailgate has not opened and closes properly. The second cylinder as well as the engine work perfectly, only the one cylinder seems to cause a blocking. Now, however, both oil pressure cylinders as well as the engine should be replaced. Costs for the parts 1.415 Euro + pay 160 = 1.575 Euro net! Does anyone have an idea how to get it cheaper? I live in the Ruhr area, maybe there is a free workshop with special expertise here. , which you could visit. Maybe this even has a paint shop ;-). First of all thank you for ideas!

Hello, I tried this morning (it was 10°C) to turn on the steering wheel heater (with the right small button on the wooden corner wheel). I didn’t notice anything. Therefore, my question, if there is a temperature control in it? There is nothing in the instructions – or is the heating broken? (Have the car been warm for 6 weeks and since it was warm, I haven’t used the steering wheel heater yet.) Thank you for your help! Julian Severin

Hello, I have a Phaeton 3.0 TDI (built 09/2012) and I’m looking for a sports air filter, but I won’t find it. So I hope someone can help me here. Thank you very much!

Hello all together, My zab spins for about 3 weeks it goes on and off all the time. Have both AGM batteries new. Errors 00470, 00477, 00003 and 00668 are stored. Strange is however, if I turn on the zab without a key it goes up to climate. I would be very happy if you could help me further since the friendly here with us gets the simply not on the row. Greetings Almir

Moin in the round, I had the lowering (coupling bars) rebuilt against the originals. I have to say that the thickness was never really “turned” with coupling rods. Unfortunately, the thickness has been standing since the conversion into wedge shape (back = high 50 cm) , front = down 39 cm) (measured wheel center to Koti). Unfortunately, there is no more spring in the back and the error in the STG is “rule not learned”. I look into the STG when reading out the access code that the values (407, 401) “excluded” n”. According to my logic, I would have to enter the really measured values over the 4 channels and correct them over and over again or ? I find many instructions as to how to lower the thickness but unfortunately not how to reset it back to normal. Can anyone help? Thank you, PS: VCDS is available.

Hello and good evening! I’m new here and would like some advice. Tomorrow at 10.00 am I have an appointment at the company Racechip to install a Racechip Pro Chiptuning in my Phaeton… Here the company I know a little about Chiptuning and have just found this link on the internet: eBay . Now my question: What is the difference with these chips? It is in both cases a Racechip. Since the chip in eBay is very cheap, I am suspiciously g I don’t want to spend so much. Can someone help me? – I’m unsure… Lars, I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to buy a new car.

Hi guys, I couldn’t find a useful answer. My fat guy has bending light and cornering light. Unfortunately, the cornering light doesn’t work, it remains static when cornering. When starting, you can see clearly that they do the lights the high/down left/right test.Abbiegelicht works without problems. My attempts so far: – no error messages regarding lights in the VCDS – programming in the Stg 55 seems ok. Programming on Phaeton and lights with 00000033 – All bulbs also work fog lights – When driving made the left/right stop – Fishing with VCDS Have in the MFL only Side Assist and Front Assist to choose from. Does vllt. jmd still have an idea? Have already several pages by without success. Greeting Artur

Hello Phaeton municipality, I know this is the Phaeton Club. In the Audiforum you can’t or won’t be helped. I still dare to rely on you. Please no S-storm. I am now also proud owner of nem Audi A3 1.2 Sportsback from 2011. For a few days the headlights and turn signals do what they want. Car starts normal and the automatic transmission switches normal. At the beginning all brake lights are displayed as defective. The turn signal ratters in the tenth second. Kt. Every now and then, the warning flashing system starts on its own and changes with the dipped-beam. Virtually by ghost hand. What do I have to check or look at? I checked the fuses in the engine compartment, relays haven’t checked yet. I read it out with a simple OBD connector. Deleting the error does not work. I hope it doesn’t blow up the frame Car Scanner ELM OBD2 DTC report Selected brand: Audi VIN: WAUZZZ8PXBA089542 ===========1==================3544 Raw code: 0DD8 ECU: 09.
